Michael Phelps ends up in 3-way tie for silver in 100m butterfly

RIO DE JANEIRO - Leave it to these Games to give us another tie for a medal, with two archrivals no less.

Michael Phelps rallied from sixth overall at the turn to lock up a silver medal in the men's 100-meter butterfly Friday night, but the winningest Olympian of all time finished in a three-way tie for the medal with Chad le Clos and László Cseh.

Meanwhile, Joseph Schooling from Singapore shocked the field by winning the gold in Olympic-record time (50.39). It was the country's first gold medal in any sport.

Schooling, who also swims at the University of Texas, built a big lead on the opening lap and easily held off the hard-charging Phelps.

Phelps was sixth at the turn and Schooling -- almost exactly a decade younger than the 31-year-old American --wouldn't let him pull off one of his patented comebacks on the return lap. The time for the three silver medal winners was 51.14.

Phelps now has won five medals over his week in Rio, tonight's silver and four golds. His career total in the Olympics now stands at 27 total.

The Baltimore native will now close out these Olympics in the 4x100 medley relay on Saturday, where he'll have a shot for his 23rd gold medal.

Earlier Friday, fellow American swimmer Ryan Lochte said he believed Phelps would compete in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, which Phelps politely contradicted.

"I am not gonna be competing in four years," Phelps said following his Friday performance.
